Overview - Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019 vs Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019
The Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019 and the Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, cooling systems, and suspension setups. However, there are several key differences between the two models.
In terms of engine power, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS has a slight advantage with 123 HP compared to the Yamaha MT-09 SP's 115 HP. The Triumph also has a higher torque of 77 Nm compared to the Yamaha's 87.5 Nm. This means that the Triumph may offer slightly better acceleration and top speed.
Both bikes have fuel injection systems and three cylinders, which contribute to their smooth performance. However, the Triumph has a larger displacement of 765cc compared to the Yamaha's 847cc, which may result in a more powerful and responsive engine.
In terms of suspension, both bikes feature upside-down telescopic forks at the front and swing arm suspensions at the rear. The Triumph's front suspension is provided by Showa, while the Yamaha's is from Kayaba. Both bikes offer adjustable compression, preload, and rebound settings for the suspension, allowing riders to fine-tune their riding experience.

When it comes to braking, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS has the advantage with a Brembo M50 brake system and larger 310 mm front discs, compared to the Yamaha's 298 mm front discs. This means that the Triumph may offer better stopping power and overall braking performance.
In terms of rider assistance systems, both bikes come with ABS and traction control as standard. However, the Triumph also offers additional features such as riding modes, ride by wire, and a quickshifter with blipper, which allows for seamless upshifts and downshifts without using the clutch. The Yamaha only offers a quickshifter for upshifting.
In terms of dimensions and weights, the Yamaha MT-09 SP has a longer wheelbase of 1500 mm compared to the Triumph's 1410 mm. This may result in slightly different handling characteristics, with the Yamaha potentially offering more stability at high speeds. The Yamaha also has a slightly lower seat height of 820 mm compared to the Triumph's 825 mm.
In terms of fuel capacity, the Triumph has a larger tank with a capacity of 17.4 liters, while the Yamaha has a smaller tank with a capacity of 14 liters. This means that the Triumph may offer a longer range before needing to refuel.

In terms of strengths, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS offers a fantastically lively engine, high-quality standard components, a quickshifter with blipper as standard, and an excellent Brembo M50 brake system. It also has a sporty look and a low weight, which may contribute to better handling and agility.
On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 SP has an incredibly powerful three-cylinder engine, good brakes, and a sporty yet comfortable seating position. It also comes with ABS, traction control, and a shift assistant.
In terms of weaknesses, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS has somewhat complicated menu navigation, which may be a minor inconvenience for some riders. The Yamaha MT-09 SP has a higher saddle height, which may make it less accessible for shorter riders. Additionally, the shift assistant on the Yamaha is only available for upshifting, and the instruments do not stand out strongly from the basic version.
Overall, both the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019 and the Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019 offer powerful and capable naked bikes with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two ultimately depends on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019
As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019
The Yamaha MT-09 is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground!
